ESB TK Lens Information

[cjdesign[TK]]

what exactly is the ruling on green bubble eyes for ESB TK? I know there was one used in ESB. Any strict guidelines for centurion?

Star wars helmets lists no bubble lens helmet in ESB? why did you post that link?

[justjoseph63[Staff]]

As far as I am aware, bubble lenses are only approved in ANH Hero, (required for level 2 and above) and ROTJ (required for level 3).

the first full mask photo has flat lens and the second has bubble lens (you can see curved highlight on the left) that's why I posted the link to show the difference. Honestly, I can't see through the bubble lens and would prefer flat.

Can you use something other then green? I thought I read it can be dark lens or greens lens? Any info would be helpful Vern! Thanks!

I think basic 501st approval says it can be dark brown/smoke/black or green or something along those lines.

ESB Mk2 use green bubble lenses. But you only see one of those in the movie.

 

All other helmets are the flat green acetate of ANH.

None of the photoson that page show bubble lenses on troopers in esb.

Seems I was mistaken.

I'm going with flat green for now. bubble lens are way too distorted anyhow. so it works out. cheers!

That's not a screen used helmet, it's a production made helmet.

Was wrong declared by auction.

Generally speaking you want to go with flat lenses either way, as that is less headache-inducing when worn.

[The5thHorseman[501st]]

Stefan is right. This is not an ESB helmet but one of the infamous "ESB MkII" the production made to replace the old and worn ANH. Like Mathias has already said it, only one of those made its way to screen for ESB. So if you want bubble lens inside your lid, then you will have to replicate entirely this helmet.
